On July 8, on the day of remembrance of Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom, the Russian Orthodox Church and all of Russia celebrate the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity.

Thanks for the article. I read that the relics have been at the Skorbyashchensky monastery for 13 years and I wonder how the pilgrimages are organized there today, because last year I wanted to go with my parents but I didn't know the schedule. Anyway, it's nice that Bishop Meliton talks about family and faith exactly in Petr and Fevronia.

Thanks for the article. That mussel particle has been there for thirteen years, that's a long time. Last year, my husband and I also hesitated to go to the monastery because we didn't know the exact program - someone could write it so that it would be easier for people this year.

Thanks for the article. Thirteen years of power in Skorbyashchenskoe is already a whole story for our diocese. This year it would be nice to post the schedule of services in advance and when you can attend, otherwise again many, like Radu and Tereza, will be guessing until the last minute.

Thank you, Stepan, for reminding me. Indeed, thirteen years is already its own diocesan tradition. I also think that it is better to post the schedule in advance, otherwise every year it is the same: people call the monastery and try to guess. Maybe Bishop Meliton will take this into account.

I agree, Dmitry, thirteen years is already a tradition that should be respected. It’s really better to post the schedule for next year in advance so that people don’t run around on the phone. Maybe the diocese will listen.
